As systems scale, so does complexity.
However, serverless architectures offer a different path – one that prioritises resilience, performance, and simplicity in equal measure.
In this session, Principal Software Engineer, Luke Mitchell, will explore how to design serverless infrastructure with long-term maintainability in mind.
From selecting the right services to understanding scaling behaviour and failure handling, the talk will cover approaches for engineers and teams looking to adopt or optimise a serverless approach.
Scalability:
Horizontal vs vertical scaling – and how serverless simplifies it
Maintainability:
Reducing complexity and overhead in growing systems
Fault Tolerance:
Designing for failure without brittle workarounds
Performance:
Using native cloud services to meet high-demand requirements
This talk is for anyone interested in cloud architecture, particularly using serverless infrastructure; from engineers building or maintaining cloud-native systems, to software development leaders shaping modern architecture strategies.
Whether you’re exploring cloud-first strategies or refining your infrastructure choices, this talk offers a framework for building scalable systems without unnecessary weight.
